CONGRATULATING CAROLINA HURRICANES ON STANLEY CUP WIN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 107 (Thursday, June 25, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 107 (Thursday, June 25, 2026)] [House] [Page H4253] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING CAROLINA HURRICANES ON STANLEY CUP WIN (Mr. McDOWELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McDOWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Carolina Hurricanes on bringing the Stanley Cup back home to North Carolina. On June 14, there was a storm surge for the ages. After 20 years, our guys once again showed the hockey world what hard work, pure grit, and teamwork are able to accomplish. Led by Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour, who captained the Hurricanes' first championship team in 2006, this group of guys put together one of the most dominant playoff runs in recent memory. From Jordan Staal and Sebastian Aho to every player, coach, trainer, and member of the organization, this championship belongs to all of them. But it also belongs to the Caniacs. To the fans who packed the Lenovo Center, who waved their towels, and who stood behind this team through all the highs and the lows: This victory is yours, too. Mr. Speaker, the Hurricanes represent more than just a hockey team. Through their support of children and families of our servicemembers and first responders, they have become part of the communities across North Carolina. Congratulations to the 2026 Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes. To the Caniacs everywhere, let us sound the sirens and celebrate hoisting the cup. Go Canes. ____________________
